Modern Approach to Managing Third Parties

In modern software development, the reliance on third-party libraries is virtually inescapable. From foundational components such as OpenSSL for secure communication, and Boost for extensive C++ libraries, to even the standard library that forms the bedrock of C++ programming, external libraries are integral to building functional and efficient applications. This dependency underscores the importance of understanding how third-party libraries are managed within the C++ ecosystem.

Given the complexity and diversity of these libraries, it’s crucial for developers to grasp the basics of third-party library management. This knowledge not only aids in the seamless integration of these libraries into projects ...
